On January 18, Beijing time, the Bucks lost 114-121 to the Eagles and swallowed a second consecutive defeat. In this game, the Bucks once led the Hawks by 14 points, the Bucks also led by 12 points after the first half, the Hawks narrowed the gap of 7 points in the third quarter, the Opening Bucks were still dominant in the last quarter, did not expect to enter the final 3 minutes and 29 seconds the Eagles achieved a rebound, the key moment the Bucks' dual-core Middleton and alphabet brother were inaccurate, and finally the Hawks completed a super reversal to end a five-game losing streak.
The Bucks' loss in this game should be seen from two aspects, the first is the key ball consecutive mistakes: the Bucks have fallen behind by 5 points in 1 minute and 32 seconds before the end, Middleton made a mistake, and then in the 19 seconds before the final game, the alphabet brother also sent a mistake Trae Young's two shots after pulling out to 8 points to lose suspense. In the case of falling behind, there are also unnecessary mistakes that are taboo in the game, and Middleton and alphabet brothers as the core are hard to blame.
Another aspect is Giannis's attitude towards the game. Time back to the final 3 minutes 29 seconds Trae Young's free throw helped the Hawks to overtake 1 point, the Bucks just fell behind to give the key ball to the alphabet brother, did not expect the letter brother did not use his best impact on the inside line, but instead tried a turnaround jump shot near the free throw line, 3 minutes and 15 seconds before the final turned over the jump shot missed, Hult quickly attacked two points into the bucks 4 points behind.
Alphabet brother throughout the last quarter 6 of 2, free throws 6 of 4 to score 8 points, 1 assist and 1 steal, he actually magically chose three middle distance, the whole game 37 minutes, 20 of 8, three points 3 of 1, 10 of 14 free throws, 27 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, shooting 40% from the field and 33.3% from three-point range.
He chose only two of the 10 mid-range hits, and I don't know why he chose so many mid-range shots in this game, this campaign is the most shot from the middle distance this season, and he is not the kind of player who uses the middle distance as the main means of scoring.
The forum is a variety of fans who criticize the attitude of the alphabet brother game and the backward show to turn over and shoot, and the defensive enthusiasm of the alphabet brother in this game is indeed not good.
Middleton played 35 minutes, 11 of 22, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 8 of 8 from the free throw line, 34 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, shooting 50% from the field and 46.2% from three-point range, his performance was actually not bad, but unfortunately there was a mistake and he missed the equalizer 2 minutes and 44 seconds before the final game, and the last quarter was 2 of 4 for 8 points and 3 rebounds.
Alphabet Brother and Middleton combined to have 61 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, but the final quarter was reversed, and Alphabet Brother's responsibility was significantly greater.
